In a field at
Winterbourne, S. Glos.

Markings: "867-36"
and a panel with the name "THEMAC" on the
pump top, and "CLIMAX ENGLAND" on the stopcock.

Manufacturer: THEMAC is the trademark of The Metal Agencies
Company Ltd, of Bristol. Thomas & Co. of Worcester, who produced the
"Climax" range of pumps, and were well-known for their windpumps. Close
inspection of the handle of this pump shows the remains of a possible bearing which could
indicate that the pump was originally wind-driven. The lack of a bucket hook
might support this theory..
